Look at the outback skid plate, one draw back is that it bolts to their crash bars so you need both. Heavy duty set up.

It does have to come off for oil changes.

Can anyone speak to T-Rex's lower exhaust protection? This photo from their site, with the exhaust peeking down, keeps me from pulling the trigger. Or is it just an odd angle? For comparison, here is a HepocBecker that seems to have more coverage.

ACD doesn't appear to be making skidplates (for S10s) anymore.
I don't see any exhaust pipe exposed in your Trex picture. I remember ACD having problems getting product out due to a relocation thing, hadn't heard they stopped producing.

Here’s a pic of the set up you can see it extends past the header so it does protect that very well. Mounts to the foot peg mount and the exhau hanger on the other side. The front is mounted to the crash ba. Heavy duty set-up

I hav considered mounting a piece of high density plastic to the bottom of mine. Kind of a glide/wear item. Especially now ACD is not making them any more.
They are available again in Europe for both gen 1&2, in raw aluminimum and black. I've messaged them a few times today and they've confirmed availabilty.

Ours is the most bomb proof, no question.
For your Altrider, you could have someone weld a thicker plate to the bottom. That would help.
I’ve seen and worked every skid plate available.
100% this.

I now own Tabascos plate and it is insane. You can use it as a jackstand for an f150. Its beyond bombproof. This was just before i snugged all the bolts down a final time.

I had never heard about Marines and their crayons until I met a buddy of mine. He's always referring to crayons. . . . eating them. . . . writing with them. Apparently it's a thing. On the other hand, the Force Recon guys I went to the Navy dive school with, never mentioned crayons.

I can confirm with 100% that ACD is available to. I got mine a month ago and yes they were going through a relocation so production was halted for a good time period.
I ordered mine in August and finally received it at the end of Dec. and i'm in Canada.
Now if you order one there should be no delay in your order. Raw or black are the color options.

My favorite thing is how marines (like australians) dont call anything by its actual name it seems.

Me: Hey thats a chinook i hear right?

Marine friend: You mean a Shithook? Yes its a shithook.
